S. G. GOODRICH, 

AUTHOR OF "peter PARLEY's TALKS." 

One Volume Quarto. 

This work is designed as a school book — as a book foi" teaching; and nothing in tiie work is 
allowed to interfere with this design. At the same time, from the arrangement adopted, it will 
.be found to contain a great quantity of matter which will render it a convenient family book for 
reference. Its utility, in this respect, will be enhanced by the index at the close of the volume. 

Simplicity, perspicuity, and convenience, have been cardfuUy studied in the arranu:ement of the 
whole work. Thus the typography, especially that which contains the leading ideas of each 
lesson, is clear and conspicuous ; the lettering" of the maps is peculiarly full and distinct ; the 
maps are in immediate contiguity with the descriptions of countries to which they relate ; the 
whole view of each country is brought togethei-, so as not to embarrass the reader by a reference 
to separate pages, or separate tables ; distinct maps of the principal countries are given, and 
care has been taken not to fill them with unimportant names, which may bewilder the student, 
and render all his acquisitions obscure and imperfect. 

In respect to maps, a new' and useful device has been adopted, which we entitle a Globe Map. 
This, of necessity, is separate from the pages referring to it, but its great utility and convenience, 
in the way it is to be used, cannot fail to strike every practical teacher. It has a handle, and 
with a model of the globe in his hand, the pupil is taught the various names given to the divisions 
of land and water, the shapes of oceans and continents, and the relative positions of countries 
and places upon the face of the earth. It is, in short, a substitute for an artificial globe, with 
the advantage of being easily handled, and constantly before the eye, during the early stages of 
the study. 

As a means of rendering the progress of the pupil at once agreeable and effective, the author 
has endeavoured to invest the subject with eveiy degree of interest of which it is capable. He 
has sought to keep the attention alive by vivid descriptions ; and, in order to convey accurate 
impressions of visible objects, he has introduced a larger number of illustrative engravings than 
have ever appeared in a similar treatise. Every one knows that mere words are incapable of 
conveying correct and distinct ideas of animals ; and that a simple cut of a lion, for instance, 
will be more useful in giving an impression of his form and aspect, than a whole volume of 
verbal description. The same may be said of the countenances and costumes of various na- 
'tions ; of the peculiar modes of building, traveling, worshiping, <fec. The engravings, therefore, 
are not introduced as mere embellishments and allurements to the pupil, but as an efficient and 
essential soui-ce of con-ect information.

Since the publication of the first edition of the Botany, the science of which it treats has 
been introdu'^ed, as a study, into many of our principal schools : and in the various applications 
for teachers, from differeni' parts of the country, an acquaintance with Botany is now often made 
an indispensable qualification. In the present edition, in comphance with the request of many 
teachers, the " Descriptions of Genera and Species " ai-e now made to include all those native 
and foreign plants which the pupil will be likely to meet with in any part of the United States. 
The author has been anxious not to omit Southern and Western plants of any interest, and in 
the present edition, just issued, large additions under this head huve been made. Should 
teachers, or students, observe such omissions, communications on the subject, made to the au- 
thor, would be gratefully received. In the first edition, the descriplibns ol genera and species 
were limited to a few of our more common plants. The author has now thoroughly revised the 
descriptions of plants ; for the numerous additions made, she is indebted to several American 
works, especially to the •• Botany of the Northern and Middle States,'' by Dr. Beck ; and also to 
the descriptions "of Terry. Bi.<:elow, and Elliot. For foreign plants, Eaton's and Wright's Manual, 
Withering's British Plants, Louden's Encyclopedias, and some other works have been consulted. 

New and greatly improved editions of both the Chemistry and Philosophy of Mrs. P. have 
iust been issued.

The following Testimonial is subscribed by a large number of the most Distinguished Men of

" The subscribers highly appreciate Dr. Webster's purpose and attempt to improve the Eng- 
lish language, by rendering its orthography more simple, regular, and uniform, and by removing 
difficulties arising from its anomalies. It is very desirable that one standard dictionary should 
be used by the numerous millions of people who are to inhabit the vast extent of territory be- 
longing to the United States; as the use of such a standard may prevent the formation of diabcts 
in states remote from each other, and impress upon the language uniformity and stability. It is 
desirable, also, that the acquisition of the language should be rendered easy, not only to our own 
citizens, but to foreigners who wish to gain access to the rich stores of science wliich it contains. 
We rejoice that the American Dictionary bids fair to become such a standard, and we sincerely 
hope that the author's elementary books for primary schools and academies will commend them- 
selves to the general use of our fellow citizens."

With an Introduction by Thomas Dick, LL. D., Autiior of the " Christian Philosopher " 
written expressly for this work. ' 

A VARiET-y-of interesting facts and observations, embracing the latest improvements in the 
science, were derived directly from the French and English Observatories, expressly for this 
Class-Book, and are not contained in any other. It is now coming genei-ally into use in our 
principal Seminaries, and is recommended to schools in general by members of the Board of 
Exammation of Yale College, as " A work more needed, and which, it is believed, will be more 
useful than any other introduced into our Institutions of Learning, for a number of years." 

This book, as its title imports, is designed to be to the starry heavens what geography is to the 
earth. Such a Class-Book has long been needed. Hitherto, the science of the stars has been 
but very superficially studied in our schools, for want of proper helps. They have continued to 
gaze upon the visible heavens without comprehending what they saw. They have cast a vacant 
eye upon the splendid pages of that vast volume which the night unfolds, as children amuse 
themselves with a book which they are unable to read. They have caught, here and there as 
it were, a capital letter, or a picture, but they have failed to distinguish those smaller characters 
on which the sense of the whole depends. Both teachers and pupils have found that Class- 
Books and Maps are as indispensable to this department of knowledge, as to that of Geography • 
and that an artificial globe is just as poor a substitute in one case as in the other. Instead o^ 
the globe, and a few balls strung upon wires, Mr. Burritt's Book and Atlas introduces the pupil 
at once to the Grand Orrery of the Heavens, and makes him acquainted Avith the names and 
positions of the bodies which compose it. He learns to locate and to dassifjj his astronomical 
knowledge as he does his geographical ; and experience has proved that a child of ten years 
will trace out all the constellations that are visible in the heavens, and name the principal stars 
in each, as readily as he will learn the boundaries of the States from a map, and name the cities 
they contain.

PREFACE. 



In this Revised Edition, the principal object has been to furnish a 
work to those numerous classes of the community, who want for con- 
sultation something above an ordinary school dictionary, but who are 
not disposed to purchase Webster's larger works. 

For this purpose, numerous additions have been made to the vocab- 
ulary, and to the definitions, particularly from that portion of the 
American Dictionary which was added in the edition of 1841, and 
also from the addenda of 1843; so that the number of words in the 
vocabulary is above ffty thousand. By these improvements, it is made 
to correspond better with the progress of the language, and with the 
increasing intelligence of the people of this country. 

The changes in orthography and pronunciation have been made 
under the direction of Rev. Chauncey A. Goodrich, formerly Pro- 
fessor of Rhetoric and Oratory in Yale College, Rev. William C. 
Fowler, lately Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory in Amherst College, 
and William G. W^ebster, Esq., members of the family of Dr. 
Webster, who were acquainted with his views and his principles ; 
and under their direction, or of some of them, it is expected the 
future editions of Dr. Webster's Dictionaries, vi^henever revised, will 
conform to this. 

By consulting general usage, analogy, and the best authorities, by 
a system of notation easily understood, and by a collection of rules 
prefixed, it has been the endeavor to make this a correct and con- 
venient pronouncing Dictionary. Walker's vocabularies of Classical and 
Scripture proper names are annexed, together with variations from 
Walker, in Perry, and in Fulton and Knight. 

To furnish help to those who are studying the structure and gram- 
matical relations of the English language, the parts of speech are 
carefully discriminated, the irregular plurals of nouns are given, and 



IV PREFACE. 

also the preterits and the perfect participles of irregular verbs, and 
the present and the perfect participles of verbs generally. 

It has also been an object to add to the interest and value of this 
work, by transferring to it from the American Dictionary the etymology 
of a considerable number of words, which may serve to create, while 
it will to some extent gratify, a taste for the affinities of languages, 
which are so successfully developed by Dr. Webster in his great work. 
In this department, care has been taken to give prominence to the 
Saxon element in the language. 

It is believed that among the millions who have used Webster's 
books, there are many who would like to know more of the Author. 
Accordingly, a short notice of his life is prefixed. 

This Dictionary, designed for general and popular use, is now pre- 
sented to the public in the hope that it will meet the wants of multi- 
tudes of the countrymen of Dr. Webster, not only among the teachers 
and higher classes in Public Schools and Academies, but also in the 
Counting House, the Manufactory, and the Family. 

Amherst^ October, 1845. 



MEMOIR. 



Noah Webster was born in West Hartford, in the state of Coi 
necticut, on the 16th of October, 1758. His father was a respectab..- 
farmer and justice of the peace, and was a descendant of John Webster, 
from Warwickshire, England, one of the original settlers in Hartford, and 
for a period governor of the state of Connecticut. His mother, a supe- 
rior and excellent woman, was a descendant of William Bradford, the 
second governor of Plymouth colony. 

He passed his boyhood like the sons of other farmers, in agricultural 
occupations during most of the year ; attending a district school in the 
winter, and spending the long evenings of that season at the family fire- 
side, in the study of those rudiments of an English education, which were 
then taught in common schools. 

When fourteen years of age, from that love of knowledge which was 
the ruling passion of his life, he commenced the study of the classics, 
under the instruction of the clergyman of the place, the Rev. Nathan 
Perkins, D. D. ; and in 1774 was admitted a member of the Freshman 
class in Yale College. 

While a student, he showed the same traits of character which were 
afterward fully developed ; the same spirit of investigation, the same indus- 
trious habits, the same love of order and of propriety in things and in per- 
sons around him, the same adherence to truth and honor in his own conduct. 

In his junior year, New England was thrown into consternation by the 
famous expedition of Gen. Burgoyne. It was universally feared that what 
that commander had vauntingly said in the British parliament, that with 
a few thousand men he could march over the country, might prove to be 
no idle boast. He at once volunteered his services under the command 
of his father, who was captain in the alarm list. In that campaign, all the 
males in the family, four in number, were in the army at the same time, 
and continued in it till the surrender of Burgoyne. There was kindled 
in his breast the fire of patriotism, which was extinguished only with his 
life. Notwithstanding the interruption of his studies by causes connected 
with the war, Mr. Webster graduated with reputation in 1778. 

He was now thrown upon his own efforts for subsistence. On his 
return from the Commencement, when he graduated, his father gave him 
an eight-dollar bill of the continental currency, worth about a dollar in 
silver, and told him he must henceforth rely upon himself for support. 
In order to defray his current expenses, he engaged in teaching school at 
Hartford, residing during the summer of 1779 in the family of Mr., after- 
ward Chief Justice Ellsworth. 

In 1781 he was admitted to the practice of the law, a profession which 
he had studied in the intervals of his regular employment. While engaged 
in his studies, he notpd down every word whose meaning he did not dis- 



VI MEMOIR. 

tinctly understand, for the purpose of further examination. The number 
of words thus noted, of which he could find no definitions at all, or only- 
very imperfect ones, deeply impressed upon his mind the deficiencies of 
the best dictionaries then in use. 

But, as the embarrassments of the country forbade him to hope for imme- 
diate practice in his profession, in 1782, while the American army was 
lying on the bank of the Hudson, he established a classical school in 
Goshen, Orange county, New York. The country was impoverished ; 
intercourse with Great Britain was interrupted ; and there was no certain 
prospect of peace ; school books were scarce, and hardly obtainable, and 
some of them full of errors. In these circumstances, he compiled two 
small elementary Morks for teaching the English language. In the 
autumn of that year, he rode to Philadelphia for the purpose of showing 
his manuscripts to gentlemen of influence, and obtaining a law for securing 
to authors the copy-right of their publications. Having exhibited his 
manuscripts to several members of the Continental Congress then in ses- 
sion, among whom was Mr. Madison, and to the Rev. Stanhope Smith, 
then professor of theology at Nassau Hall, Princeton, and afterward presi- 
dent of that institution, he was by them encouraged to prosecute his design. 

Accordingly, having at Goshen devoted the winter to the revision of his 
manuscripts, and the introduction of some improvements suggested by 
gentlemen in Princeton and Philadelphia, he returned in 1783 to Hartford, 
where he published the ^'•First Part of a Grammatical Institute of the English 
Language,'' a title adopted at the suggestion of President Stiles, but after- 
ward changed for another. The second and third parts were published in 
the years immediately following. These books, comprising a spelling 
book, an* English grammar, and a compilation for reading, were the first 
books of the kind published in the United States. They were gradually 
introduced into most of the schools in the country. 

The improvements upon Dilworth, and similar British works, introduced 
into his spelling book, were : 1 . A division of syllables according to the 
pronunciation. Thus, ha-bit, ta-lent, the English mode, was rejected, and 
hab-it, tal-ent, substituted. 2. The reduction of the terminating letters 
tion, sion. into one syllable. Thus, the English mo-ti-on, de-lu-si-on, were 
reduced to mo-tion, de-lu-sion. 3. A Key to the pronunciation of the 
vowels, and such an arrangement of words, that a single figure indicated 
the proper sound of the vowels of the accented syllables in whole col- 
umns. 4. A new classification of words, brinsfino; into the same tables 
words of a like formation. 

At first, when he came to Hartford to publish this book, he could find 
no man who encouraged him to expect to succeed, except Judge Trumbull 
and Joel Barlow. Indeed, upon its first publication, it met with much 
opposition. A pamphlet, entitled '^ Dilworth'' s Ghost,'^ was extensively 
circulated, for the purpose of deterring the public from using it. But the 
people, not frightened at that ghost, used the book. About twenty 
millions have been published, and the demand is increasing. More 
persons have learned to read from it than there are inhabitants in the 
United States. " To its influence, more than to any other cause, is this 
country indebted for that remarkable uniformity of pronunciation which is 
often spoken of with surprise by English travelers." 



MEMOIR. VU 

Soon after the close of the war, there grew up in the country, especially 
in the northern parts of it, a violent and organized opposition to the half- 
pay and commutation acts, passed by Congress, for the relief of the army 
of the revolution. Indeed, so extensive and deep-seated were the popular 
discontents, expressed both against Congress and the disbanded army, as 
to threaten the most dangerous civil dissensions. In this emergency, Mr. 
Webster, from a regard to justice, as well to those who fought as to those 
who legislated for the welfare of their country, employed his pen so 
successfully in defense of Congress, and in allaying discontent in Con- 
necticut, that he received the thanks of Governor Trumbull in person, and 
was publicly declared by a member of the council, '* to have done more to 
support the authority of Congress, at this crisis, than any other man." 

Like many other intelligent men, Mr. Webster early perceived the 
insufficiency of the old confederation for the purposes of government. 
The war, by forcing the states to act in concert, gave it whatever of 
strength it had. Peace, by removing the common danger, proved its 
weakness. In the winter of 1784-5, he published his " Sketches of Amer- 
ican Policy,''^ in which he urged the establishment of a new form of govern- 
ment, which should " act, not on the states, as did the old confederation, 
but directly on individuals also, like the present system." This pamphlet, 
in the spring of 1785, was by him presented to General Washington, at 
Mount Vernon, who referred the arguments to a member of the legislature 
of Virginia. It contained, it is believed, the first distinct proposal made 
through the medium of the press, for a new constitution of the United States. 

One object of Mr. Webster's journey south, at this as at other times, 
was to obtain laws from the state legislatures, securing to authors the 
exclusive right to the publication of their productions. He was, to some 
extent, successful. Some of the states passed such laws. " Public 
attention was thus called to provision for the support of American litera- 
ture, which was rendered more effectual by a copy-right law enacted by 
Congress in 1790." In 1826, he resumed his efforts on the subject, in 
order to procure such an alteration of the law as should, by giving exten- 
sion to the rights of authors, secure to them a more ample reward. To 
accomplish this, he spent a winter in Washington, in the years 1830-31. 
An act was passed by Congress at the session of that season, more 
liberal in its provisions than the former law. In his journeys to effect this 
object, and in his \hwg attendance afterward at Washington, he expended 
nearly a year of time. 

On his return from the south, in 1785, he prepared, in Baltimore, a 
course of lectures upon the English language, which, in the next year, 
were delivered in the principal Atlantic cities, and which were published 
in 1789, under the title of ''■Dissertations on the English Language .'^ 

In the year 1787, during which he superintended a school in Philadel- 
phia, the convention which formed the present Constitution, v/ere in session 
in that city. When they had finished their work, Mr. Webster was 
solicited by Mr. Fitzsimraons, one of the members, to give the aid of his 
pen in recommending the new system of government to the people. 
Accordingly, for this purpose, he wrote a pamphlet, entitled ''An Exam- 
ination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution ^ 

In 1789, Mr. W^ebster married a daughter of William Greenleaf, Esq., 



Vlll MEMOIR. 

of Boston, and established himself at Hartford, in the practice of the 
law. In 1793, he was solicited by some eminent statesmen to establish 
a paper in the city of New York, in defense of Washington's administra- 
tion, then violently assailed by the partisans of France. Accordingly, 
from his strong attactuneiit to the principles of the Father of his Country, 
he removed to New York, and there established a daily paper, called the 
Minerva^ with v/hich he connected a semi-weekly paper, called the Herald, 
names which were afterward changed to those of the Commercial Adver- 
tiser, and the New York Spectator. This was the first example of a paper 
for the country, made up from the columns of a daily paper without re- 
composition, a practice which is now common. 

In 1795, he published, in vindication of Mr. Jay's treaty with Great 
Britain, to which there was violent opposition, a series of papers, under 
the signature of Curtius, which were extensively re-printed throughout 
the country, and which, in the opinion of Mr. Rufus King, expressed to 
Mr. Jay, did more than any other papers of the same kind to allay the 
opposition to the treaty. In 1799, as the result of laborious investigation, 
he published in two volumes, octavo, his '■'■History of Pestilential Diseases,'^ 
which was re-published the same year in England. In 1802, he pub- 
lished his celebrated Treatise on the ^'■Rights of Neutrals ;'^ and the same 
year. Historical Notices of "-Banking Institutions and Insurance Offices,'^ 
Mr. Webster, in the spring of 1798, removed to New^ Haven. 

In the preface to his ^'-Compendious Dictionary,^'' published in January, 
1 806, he announced to the public that he had entered on the great work 
of his life, to which his studies had been immediately directed for some 
years, that of compiling a new and complete dictionary of the English 
language. Some of the reasons for doing this, are set forth in his pub- 
lished ^'Letter to Dr. David Ramsay,'" Charleston, South Carolina. During 
the many years in which his attention had been turned to the subject, he 
had become deeply convinced of the need of a dictionary which, in the 
extent of its vocabulary, and the fullness of its definitions, would be com- 
mensurate with the progress of the language, as written and spoken. The 
English and the American nations had been rapidly advancing in the 
discoveries of science, in the inventions of art, in new modes of thought. 
The language had kept pace with these improvements and changes, by the 
introduction of new terms, or by the extended use of old ones. But lex- 
icography had stood still fifty years, from 1755, when Johnson's Dictionary 
was published. Mr. Webster, while he duly appreciated the difficulty of 
the task, undertook it upon high public grounds. In the letter mentioned 
above, he remarks: " The undertaking is Herculean ; but it is of far less 
consequence to me than to my country.'''' 

It is no easy task to collect the " winged words " we speak, and give 
them stability and form, and " local habitation." He who would do it, 
must be not only conversant with the usages of the best speakers and best 
writers, but also with the laws which govern the structure of language in 
general, and of his own in particular. He must be acquainted, in some 
degree, with all the arts and sciences, in order to explain their terms. And 
since, in the wide field of knowledge, " some words are budding, and some 
are falling away," he must explore that field, in order to gather the living 
and permanent, anc] to know when to reject the dead or the transient. 



MEMOIR. IX 

In short, as one has strikingly said, " a dictionary extracts and condenses 
the essence of all other books ; it holds, as in embryo, the elements of all 
things known." And then, too, in the pronunciation and orthography, there 
are many perplexing difficulties connected with divided usage, conflicting 
analogies, authorities at variance with each other, and unsettled derivations. 
Moreover, a correct classification of the parts of speech involves the appli- 
cation of a refined logic. Besides these, Dr. Webster met with unexpected 
embarrassment in the departments of etymology. After writing through two 
letters of the alphabet, he laid aside his manuscripts, and endeavored, by a 
comparison of words having the same or cognate radical letters, in twenty 
different languages, to discover the real or probable affinities betw^een the 
English and other languages, and thus to obtain a more correct knowledge 
of the origin and primary sense of words. In this department of lexicogra- 
phy, he labored ten years, in the careful comparison of radical words, and 
in forming a '■'■Synopsis of the principal words in twenty languages, arranged 
in classes under their primary elements or letters.'''' After completing this 
synopsis, he proceeded to finish the work. 

During the progress of these labors, Mr. Webster, finding his resources 
inadequate to the support of his family at New Haven, removed, in 1812, 
to Amherst, a pleasant country town in Massachusetts. Here, notwith- 
standing his devotedness to his studies, he entered with his characteristic 
ardor into the literary and social interests of the place : promoted agricul- 
tural improvements, himself cultivating a few acres; represented the 
town at different times in the General Court of Massachusetts, as he had 
done New Haven in the General Assembly of Connecticut ; employed 
his influence in the establishment, first of the academy, and then of the 
college, of whose Board of Trustees he was president ; delivered the 
address at laying the corner-stone of the first college edifice, and inducted 
the first president into office. 

In 1822, Mr. Webster returned to New Haven. In 1823, he received 
the degree of LL. D. from Yale College. In June, 1824, he sailed for 
Europe, with a view to perfect his work, by consulting literary men 
abroad, and by examining standard authors, to which he could not have 
access in this country. He spent two months at Paris, in consulting rare 
works in the Bihliotheque d.u Roi, and then went to England, where he 
remained till May, 1825. He spent several months at the University of 
Cambridge, where he had free access to the public libraries, and there he 
finished the '^America?i Dictionary." 

An edition was published, in 1828. This contained twelve thousand 
words, and between thirty and forty thousand definitions, not found in any 
preceding dictionary. An edition was soon after published in England. 
In 1841, another edition was published in this country, containing, with 
those in the addenda, about eighteen thousand additional words. 

Of the merits of that dictionary, it does not fall within the limits of this 
notice to speak. It is sufficient to say, that in the estimation of those 
best qualified, both in this country- and in Europe, to form a correct judg- 
ment, it has taken the same place at the head of English lexicography, 
which Johnson's great work took ninety years ago. With the excellencies 
of that work, it unites other excellencies, corresponding with the advanced 
state of philology, and the progress of the Anglo-Saxon race.

X MEMOIR. 

Besides his principal productions, above mentioned, there are numerous 
others to be inchided in a complete list of his writings. 

Dr. Webster loved truth in all its manifestations, whether in science or 
art, whether in politics and history, or in morals and religion. Though 
absorbed for years in the study of language, he lost none of his interest in 
the objects to which it is applied ; for he still remembered that " things 
are the sons of God, and that words are the daughters of men." He had 
that ardent thirst for knowledge which is the true scholar's moving power ; 
this prompted him to his investigations, and sustained him in their progress. 
When an opinion was proposed, he never so much as asked whether it 
was new, or whether it was old ; but his constant and only inquiry was. is 
it true ? And how great was his gratification, when successful in his 
search after truth, we may learn from his om^ statement : " While engaged 
in composing my dictionary, I was often so much excited by the discov- 
eries I had made, that my pulse, whose ordinary action is scarcely sixty 
beats to the minute, was accelerated to eighty or eighty-five." As he 
welcomed truth in all forms, so he dared to introduce it to the world, trust- 
ing that it would win its way to the confidence of others. And if; delving 
in the mine of original investigation, he sometimes threw up to the light 
masses of truth too large to enter immediately into general circulation, he 
had the satisfactiofi of knowing that there were those who understood its 
value. Indeed, he often had the gratification to see many truths become 
current, which, at their first presentation, were rejected. And if, in the 
progress of his investigations, continued for so many years, he found 
reason to change an opinion, he had the magnanimity to make the recanta- 
tion as public as the avowal. 

Equally remarkable was his love of virtue. His sensibility was easily- 
moved, either by what is right in conduct, on the one hand, or by what is 
wrong, on the other. He could not speak of moral distinctions with 
indifference. His heart, his voice, his pen, and his conduct were always 
on the side of virtue, and order, and religion. As a lover of the human 
race, of his country, of his friends, of his God, no man could better dis- 
charge the various duties of his station, or dispense, with a more winning 
grace, all the sweet charities of life. In his last years, he had good 
health, an unimpaired mind, and "that which should accompany old age, as 
honor, love, troops of friends." In his last days, he enjoyed the hopes of 
the gospel. Death took him not by surprise. When, after a short illness, 
the announcement of his approaching dissolution was made to him., "I am 
ready," was his simple and sublime reply. He met the King of Terrors, 
saying, " I know in whom I have believed ; I have no doubts, no fears." 
He died on the 28th of May, 1843, in the eighty-fifth year of his age. 

But he will long be remembered by many, as the youthful soldier, who 
was ready, if need be, to pour out his blood and his life together for the 
land of his birth ; as the thoughtful politician, who early devised a scheme 
for uniting the states under a Constitution, such as the country now enjoys; 
as the grateful citizen, who gallantly sprang to the defense of Washington, 
when factious men rose up against him ; as the laborious lexicographer, 
who throws a strong and steady light upon the English language ; as the 
Christian moralist, " who taught millions to read, but not one to sin." 



RULES 



PRONUNCIATION AND ORTHOGRAPHY OF WORDS. 



In order that this work may be conveniently used as a Pronouncing Dictionary, 
a system of notation is employed, which can be easily understood. 

The first, or long, sound of the vowels, is designated by a horizontal mark placed 
over them; as infa-vor^ ce-dar^ vi-tal, glo-rn, frii-lij, cy-clc. 

The second, or short, sound of the vowels, in accented syllables, is designated by 
the omission of any mark ; as sal'-a-ry, en'-er-gy, in'-fa-my, bot'-a-ny, hns'-bartd, sym'-bol. 

The Italian somid of a is designated by two points over the letter; as in bar, mast, 
fd-tker. 

The broad sound of a is designated by two points under the vowel ; as in ball, broad. 

The short sound of broad a is designated by a single mark under it ; as in vjhat, 
quad-rant. 

The letter e, having the sound of a long, has a horizontal mark under the letter ; as 
in prey, in-veigh. 

The letter ?', when it has the sound of u short, has a curving mark over it; as in 
bird, stir. 

When the letter i has the sound of c long, it has two points over it ; as in fa-tigue, 
ma-rine. 

The letter o, when it has the sound of u short, has a curving mark over it ; as in 
dove, son. 

The vowel o, when it has the sound oioo, has two dots over it; thus, move, lose. 

The two letters oo, without points, have the soimd of the French ou ; as in fool, room. 

The sound of oo, when shortened, is indicated by two points under the letters ; 
thus, bonl:, look. 

The short soimd of ^o is also indicated by two points under the letter u; as in full, 
pull. 

The digraphs, ee, ea, ei, ?>, when neither vowel is pointed, have the soimd of c long; 
ai and ay, the sound of a long; oa, that of a long. 

In all cases when one vowel of a digraph is marked, that vowel has the sound des- 
ignated by the mark, and the other is quiescent ; thus, vp-brcdd, ap-pear, vein-, broad. 

By marking the vowel o in the digraphs ou and ow, the digraph is distinguished from 
the diphthong ; thus, in source, cu are a digraph ; but in sow they are a diphthong ; and 
b'yvj, a weapon, is distinguished from bow, to bend. 

The letter c, when it has the sound of A', is marked as in €xin. 

The soft sound of g is distinguished thus : as in gem, from the hard sound, 
as in go. 

The letter s, when it has the vocal sound, is marked thus : as in praise, to distin- 
guish it from the merely sibilant sound, as in sign. 

The letters cA, when they have the sound of 1:, are marked as in character. 

The letters ch, in words from the French, are pronounced as sh, and marked thus, 
chaise: pronounced shays. 

The vocal sound of ih, is distinguished thus : as in -ihoii., from the aspirated sound 
of th, as in thinJi. 

Syllables having the secondary accent, when the stress falls upon the vowel, some- 
times have the quality of sound indicated by a mark ; as in ah'-di-cate, nvl'-li-fy. 



Xll RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION AND ORTHOGRAPHY. 

In a full and perfect alphabet of a language, for each simple single sound, incapable 
of being represented by a combination of letters, there must be a simple single sign ; 
no sound must have more than one sign to express it ; and no sign must express more 
than one sound. As the English language, being both deficient and redundant, does 
not answer these conditions, the mode of ascertaining the proper pronunciation, by- 
marks and slight alterations of the present characters, seems to be the only one which 
can be reduced to practice. This mode, resembling the use of points in the Hebrew, 
has been adopted by some of the nations on the Continent ; and is in this work pur- 
sued so far as to facilitate, and not so far as to embarrass the learner. With this 
scheme, which is so simple that it may be learned in a few moments, the visible 
characters of the language will present to the eye of the reader the true sounds 
of words. 

A considerable number of words, also, are re-s;^led; and when use or authorities 
are divided, two modes of pronunciation are sometimes given. When two modes 
of spelling or of pronunciation are given, the leading one is generally entitled to the 
preference; in some cases, it is difficult to say which should be preferred. 

The letter «, when final, has the Italian sound ; as in Da'-td, A-mer'-i-ca. 

In English words and syllables ending in e, after a single consonant, the first vowel 
is long, and the final e is silent; as in. fate, mete, note, rite,for-ti-tude, pros-e-lyte. 

The vowel i, in the termination ive, is always short, except when pointed; as mo- 
tive, rel-a-tive : pronounced mo'-tiv, rel'-a-tiv. 

The letter a, coming before the letter r, has a peculiar sound ; such as is heard in 
the correct pronunciation of the words pre-pare, fair, pray-er. This sound difiers 
somewhat from the sound of long a, and approaches that of the Italian a. 

The letters ce, ci, and ti, before a vowel, often blend into the sound of sfi ; thus, o-cean, 
pho-cion, mo-tion, are pronounced o'-shun, pho'-shun, vw'-skun. 

The termination sion, after a consonant, is pronounced sh%n; con-cession is 
pronounced con-cesk'-un ; but after a vowel, it is pronounced zhun ; dif-fu^sion is pro- 
nounced dif-fu'-zJiun. 

The termination tion, in most words, is pronounced shun, after a vowel or conso- 
nant ; na-tion, af-fec-tion, are pronounced na'-shun, af-fec'-shton. 

In a few words, tian, tion, are pronounced cAwTt; as in Chris' -tian,bas' -tion; E-gijp'- 
tian is an exception : pronounced E-gyp'-shun. 

Sier are pronounced zher, or zhur, in bra'-sier, o'-sier. 

The letters gh, in most English words, are quiescent. In the following, they are 
pronounced like/: congh, chough, dough, enough, luvgh, rough, slough, tough, trough. 

H, after r, is mute ; as in rhetoric. 

G and k, before- ti, are mute ; as in gnaw, knave. 

W, before r, is mute ; as in icrest, lorong. 

In a few words, h after w is pronounced before it ; as in what, which, as if written 
hwat, hwich. 

In the termination en, e is usually mute ; as in broken, pronounced brokn. The final 
e is mute after Z, in the following syllables : ble, cle, die, fie, gle, kle, pie, tie, zle. 

B, after m, is mute ; as in dumb. 

L is mute before k, as in walk; before m, as in calm; and before/, as in half, calf 

N is mute after m, as in hymn. 

Ch has the sound of tch, as in chance; of sh, as in chaise; and of k, as in character. 

Ph are always pronounced like/ as in philosojghy; but they are silent in phthisic: 
pronounced tizzic. 

P is mute before s, as m. psalms; and before t, as in ptyalism, Ptolemy. 

In the terminating syllable of adjectives, ous, the letter o is always silent. 

The unaccented ?/, at the end of words, is short, like i, in pin, pit; as in glory, 
probity. In the plural of such words, ies are pronounced iz, as glories, pronounced 
gloriz. But y, in monosyllables, has its first sound ; as in dry, my ; and in verbs, the 
same sounds occur in the inflections ; as in fly, fiies; try, tries: pronounced /2>c, trize. 
In the termination /y, the y has its first sound; as in fortify. So also ?', in the last 
syllable of fortifies. 

S has its proper sound after/ p, k, t, and th, aspirate ; as in chiefs, caps, franks, pits, 
deaths. 



RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION AND ORTHOGRAPHY. XIU 

S has also the sound of r, after b, d, g, gh, I, m, n, r, s, and ss, ^r, v, aw, ay, ew, ey, 
mp, oy, sh, ng, th vocal, ch, oe, ie, and after c followed by e final ; as in robs, ■rd)es, races, 
rods, rides, rags, rages, toils, dreams, sighs, rains, bars, waves, roses, passes, mazes, laws, 
days, 7iews, preys, vows, joys, bnishes, sings, breathes, churches, foes, files. S, before m, 
has the sound of z; as in spasm, baptism. 

In many cases, a word, the better to express the pronunciation, is printed a second 
time, in letters most proper for the purpose. In this case, the pronunciation of the 
radical word is to be observed in the derivatives, unless otherwise noted : thus, bright 
is printed brite, to show the pronunciation; and this prommciation is to be observed 
in its derivatives; as brightness, brightly. 

The letter ii, it should be remarked, has the sound of yu in many words in which this 
letter forms a syllable by itself; as in u-yiit, u-nariimous, u-biquity, usurp; and in some 
monosyllables ; as in use, pronounced yuse. 

The present practice is to give u the sound of yu, in such words as nature, feature, 
rapture, which, are pronounced nat'-yur, fpat'-yur, rapt'-ynr. This practice seems to 
have been adopted to avoid the commoh corruption of a change of t into t.^h, as in 
natshur, a pronunciation condemned by some of the latest orthoepists. But in words 
of more syllables than two, this pronunciation oiu, as yu, in the last syllables, as in 
caricature, literoMre, juiicature, is not to be commended. 

The termination ed, in the past tense and participles of verbs, retains the vowel e 
in the vocabulary, for showing the proper orthography ; but in the customary pronun- 
ciation, this vowel is omitted, except after d and t: thus, abandoned, delivered, charmed, 
are pronounced abandond, deliverd, charmd; and in this work, the silent letter is 
Italicized. This rule extends to all cases, except to some formal uses, or to occa- 
sional uses of some words in verse. 

Some words of this class, howev^er, when used as adjectives, are pronounced in 
two syllables, though when used as preterits or participles, they are pronounced in 
one : thus, a Learned man, a blessed day, preserve the ed in sound. 

After d and t, this termination ed is, from necessity, pronomiced as a distinct 
syllable ; as in abraded, hated. • 

Accent is the more forcible utterance of a particular syllable of a word, by which 
it is distinguished from others. The accented syllable of a word serves, therefore, 
as a kind of resting place or support of the voice, which passes over the unaccented 
syllables with more rapidity and a less distinct utterance. 

Accent is of two kiuds. or rather of two degrees of force, primary and sccondanj. 
Words of one syllable can have no accent. Words of two syllables have the pri- 
mary accent only. Words of three and four syllables may have the primary and 
secondary accent; but many of them have no secondary accent that deserves notice ; 
such are dignity, e7icmj/,fi4tiity. In words of four, five, and more syllables, a second- 
ary accent is often essential to a clear, distinct articulation of tlie several syllables. 
Thus, heterogeneous can not be well uttered without two accented syllables ; the fourth 
syllable receiving the priacipal stress of the voice, and the first clearly distinguished 
by more forcible utterance than the second, third, fifth, and sixth. 

The accent of most Ens^lish words has been long established ; and, evidently, it 
has been determined by the natural ease of speaking, without the aid of rules or 
instruction. 

No general rule can be given for the accentuation of words of two syllables. It is, 
however, worth observing, that when the same word is both a noun or an adjective, 
and a verb, it happens, in man}'- instances, that the noun or adjective has the accent 
on the first syllable, and the verb on the last ; instances of which we have in ab'-sent, 
to absent' ; con'-cni, to concert'. In a few instances, the word has a different accent, 
when a novm, from that which it has when an adjective; as av'-gust, august'; 
gal'-lnnt, gallant'. 

Words often have a secondary accent, or what approaches a secondary accent, 
when used as verbs, which they do not have when used as adjectives : thus, moderate 
and dcldr.ra^c, when used as verbs, have a secondary accent on the last syllable, but 
not when used as adjectives. When these words are used as verbs, the a in the last 
syllable has the first or long sound. 

Words of three syllables, derived from dissj-llables, usually retain the accent of 
their primitives; thus, po'-ef,po'-etrss; vleas' -ant, pleas' -antly ; polite, poli' -test. 
9 * C ■ 



^^^ RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION AND ORTHOGRAPHY. 

In like manner, words of four syllables, formed from dissyllables, generally retain 
the accent of the primitives; as in colUd'-ihle from collect', ser'-viceabh from scr'-vice. 

In all cases, the preterit and participles of verbs retain the accent of the verbs. 

Words ending in Hon, sion, tian, cious, tious, cial, cian, tial, tiate, tient, cient, have the 
accent on the syllable preceding that termination; as mo'-tion, Chris'-tian, erudi'-tion, 
pa'-tieni. 

Words of more than two syllables, ending in ty, have, for the most part, the accent 
on the antepenult ; as gratu'-ity, propri'-ety, prospcr'-ity. 

Trisyllables, endingin mentjioT the most part, have the accent on the first syllable; 
as com'-pllment, dei'-rwient; but to this rule there are many exceptions, and particu- 
larly nouns formed from verbs ; as aviend'-ment, coriwicmd'-ment. 

AVords with the following terminations have the accent on the last syllable, except 
two: jliious, as super' -fl'uoiis; ferous, as vocif'-erous ; fluent, as circum! -fixtent ; cracy, as 
demo '-racy; gonal, as diag'-onal; gony, as cosmog'-ony ; mochy, as logom'-ochy; loqvy, 
as ob'-loquy; mathy, as polym' -athy ; meter, as barom'-eter ; nomy, as econ'-oviy; ogy, as 
philol' -ogy ; pathy, as ap'-athy, phony, as eu'-phony; parous, as ovip'-arous; scopy, as 
deuteros'-copy; strophe, as apes' -trofhe ; vomous, as igniv'-omous; vorous, as carniv'-orous; 
tomy, as anat'-oniy; raphy, as geog'-ra,phy. 

Compound words, as lool-case, ink-stand, pen-knife, note-book, usually have a slight 
accent, that is, one syllable is distinguished by sonie stress of voice ; but as the other 
syllable is significant by itself, it is uttered with more distinctness than the syllables 
of other words which are wholly unaccented. 

The rules for marking the letters with points are applicable only to English words 
in the vocabulary. The foreign words, printed in Italics, are not pointed. 

The accented syllable is distinguished by this mark ['] at the end; as in ta'-bor, 
ten'-or, det'-ri-ment 

When two accents occur after e and i, and before ci and ti, they indicate that the 
preceding syllable ends with the pronunciation of sh: thus, pre" -cious, m"-tiate are 
pronounced _??rf5/i'-ow5, vish'-ate, the ci and ti blending into the sound of s^. 

In such words as pronunciation, initiation, euphony seems to require that ciu and 
tia should be uttered in two syllables, pro-mtn-ci-a'-tion, in-i-ti-a -Hon, to prevent the 
repetition of the sound of sh. 

Two accents between n and g, or after ^, indicate that ng are proTiounced with a 
close articulation; as m.firi"-ger, lon"-ger. 

As Dr. Ash remarks, the different vowels in unaccented syllables are pronounced 
alike, or nearly so. Thus, in the words altar, alter, manner, manor, murinur, all the 
vowels of the last syllables have the same sound. Hence, it is generally useless to 
mark the unaccented vowels, their sounds being too obscure and indistinct to be 
defined, or to be accurately distinguished by marks. The nice distinctions between 
them, if any exist, are to be acquired only by usage and good taste. 

In general, the rules followed in this book are: 

1. The usage of respectable people in England and the United States, when 
identical in the two coimtries, settled and undisputed. 

2. When usage is unsettled or uncertain, the pronunciation is adjusted to the 
regular and established analogies of the language, as far as these can be definitely 
ascertained; having, however, in accentuation, some regard to euphony, or the 
prosaic melody, which proceeds from a due succession of accented and unaccented 
syllables. 

Though there are great differences in orthography in the English language, certain 
classes of words can conveniently be reduced to uniformity, as in the following 
examples : 

1. Favor, candor, ardor, labor, color, clamor, parlor, error, tenor, Iwnor, splendor, rigor, 
armor, vigor, vapor, valor, inferior, superior, &r.c. ; and the derivatives in the same 



RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION AND ORTHOGRAPHY. XV 

manner without u, that the pupil need not be troubled with the u in labmir, and the 
omission of it in laborious; u in inferiour^ and not in inferiority, &c. 

3. Music, public, cubic, and all similar words from the Greek and Latin, and some 
formed in analogy with them, without k. Most of these admit the tenninations al 
and ally; as 7)iusical, viusicalhj; and it is inconvenient to add k to the primitive word, 
musick, and be obliged to omit it in musical. Besides, the mark used on c, when it 
has the use of /^, supersedes the necessity of ^•. 

Exceptions. — Words which may be used as verbs, retain k, on account of the past 
tense and participles; as traffick, trafficked; fr click, frolicking. 

Words of Teutonic and Gothic origin, having never lost k, and not admitting an 
additional syllable, retain k; as hemlock, fetlock, loedlock. Monosyllables are also 
excepted; as sick, lick, lock; most of which may be used as verbs. 

3. Defense, expense, offense, pretense, recompense, with 5 ; not solely because the Latin 
originals have s, but because the derivatives defensive, expensive, offensive, pretension, 
recompensing, must be written with s. 

4. Blarfwhle, aJbatahle, debatable, tmvable, ratable, salable, reconcilaMe, and all similar 
words without e, except after c and^; as noticeable, changeable. 

5. Befall, miscall, install, recall, forestall, inthrall, retain the II; for if one I is 
omitted in the primitive word, it must be restored in the participles befalling, &c. ; 
and it is a general rule in the language, that a before II, has its broad 'sound; 
{;naU and shall excepted.) Hence, if written befal, miscal, the pronunciation may 
be easily mistaken. For this reason, II should be retained in the nouns install- 
ment, inthrallment. 

6. Foretell, distill, iv still, fulfill, retain II in the primitive, for it mast be retained 
in the participles and other derivatives ; as foretelling, distiller, &c. In this case, the 
pupil has only to learn tha t the spelling of the original words tell, still, fill, is retained 
in all the derivatives. 

7. Connection, deflection, inflection, reflection, follow the spelling of the verbs connect, 
deflect, inflect, reflect. Complex and reflex are considered as the primitives of a differ- 
ent analogy, and the common spelling is retained. 

^. All verbs, formed from the Latin and Greek izo, and others formed in analogy 
with them, are written with the termination ize ; as generalize, legalize, moralize. 
This termination, and ism, never change the accent of the original word. Words 
directly from the French priscr, and others from the French, generally retain the 
letter s; as surprise, enterprise, comprise, devise, revise, merchandise. 

9. Monosyllabic verbs, ending in a single consonant, not preceded by a long vowel, 
and other verbs, ending in a single accented consonant, and of course not preceded 
by a long vowel, double the final consonant in all the derivatives, which are formed 
by a termination beginning with a vowel : thus, fit, blot, bar, when they take the 
teraiinations ed, eth, ing, are written fitted, fitteth, fitting ; blotted, blotteth, blotting; 
barred, barreth, barring''. The reason of this rule is, that without this duplication 
of the last consonant, the vowel of the primitive word would, in the derivative, be 
naturally pronounced wrong ; that is, with its long sound, filed, bloting, bared. 
Hence, we see the reason why verbs having the long sound of a vowel, do not 
double the last consonant; as feared, repealed, repeated. 

10. When verbs of two or more syllables end in a single unaccented consonant, 
preceded by a single vowel, the final consonant is not doubled in the derivatives. 
Thus, we should write appareled, canceled, caviling, caviler, duelist, libeled, libelous, 
equaled, rivaled, traveler, traveling, quarreling, &cc. This rule, always admitted to 
be just, has been violated, probably from mere heedlessness ; there being no more 



XVI RULES POR PRONUNCIATION AND ORTHOGRAPHY. 

propriety in doubling the consonant in caviling, libeling^ than in limiting, pardoning^ 



11. In the formation of the plural number of nouns ending in ance, ancy; ence, ency, 
the general rules are to be observed. When the letter e terminates a word, the letter 
s only is to be added; as in compliance, compliances; but if the letter y terminates a 
word, this letter is omitted, and ies are added : as in discrepancy, discrepancies. In 
some cases, the same word is sometimes written with e and sometimes with y; in 
which cases, the word admits of either form of the plural termination. 

DtiU, skill, will, full, &CC., retain II in all their derivatives, to prevent the incon- 
venience of exceptions to a rule. There is no reason for omitting one I in dulhiess, 
fullness, skillful, willful, which would not require the omission of one s in blissful,

PRONUNCIATION 



GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES, 



When a word is succeeded by a word printed in Italics, the latter word is merely to spell the former as 
it ought to be pronounced. Thus, Abansheas is the true pronunciation of the preceding word Abantias; 
&nd so of the rest. 

When the letters Evg. are put after a word, it is to show that this word is the preceding word Angli- 
cised. Thus, Lu'-can, Eng., is the Latin word Lucanus, changed into the English Lucan. 

Every a ending a syllable, with the accent upon it, is pronounced like the a in the English words fa-vor, 
ta-per, &c. 

Every unaccented a, whether initial, medial, or final, ending a syllable, has an obscure sound, bordering 
on the a in father.

NEW FRENCH WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 
A variety of weights and measures having been used in the different provinces of France, 
under the ancient form of government, the new government has ordained new standards of 
weights and measures, founded on nature, and therefore permanent. The standard of measure 
is a meridional circle of the earth, which has been, for this purpose, accurately ascertained by 
men of science, and particularly in 1797, by the mensuration of degrees of latitude between 
Dunkirk and Barcelonia. The whole circle, divided into 40 million parts, or the quadrant of

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, 



90 degrees, into 10 million parts, gives the unity of length, called a meter, which is equal to 36 
inches French, and 11,296 lines, equal to 39 inches and 371 decimal parts English.

A decam'-eter 10 meters 393-71000 

A hecatom'-eter .... 100 meters ....... 3937 10000 

A chiliom'-eterj .... 1000 meters 39371 00000 

A myriom'-eter .... 10,000 meters 393710 00000 

A grade or degree of the meridian equal to 100,000 meters, 

or 1,100th of the quadrant 39371000 00000 

The meter thus being in English inches, 39371, or 3 feet 3 inches and 371 decimals.

MEASURES OF CAPACITY. 

A cube whose side is one-tenth of a meter — that is, a cubic decimeter — constitutes the unity 
of measures of capacity. It is called a liter, and contains 61 cubic inches and 028 decimals.^ 

A milill'-iter or . . . 1-1 000th part of a liter 06103 

A centil'-iter .... 1-lOOth part of a liter . 61028 

A decil'-iter .... 1-lOth part of a liter 6 10285 

A lit'-er, a cubic decimeter 61 02800 

A decal'-iter .... 10 liters . . . , • 610 28000 

A hecatol'-iter ... 100 liters 6102 80000 

A chiliol'-iter .... 1000 liters 61028 00000 

A myriol'-iter . . . . 10,000 liters 610280 00000 

The English pint, wine measure, contains 28 cubic inches, and 875 decimals. The liter, 
therefore, is 2 pints and nearly one-eighth of a pint ; hence, 

A decal'-iter . is . . equal to gal. 2 and 64,44-231 cubic inches, more than 9 quarts. 

A hecatol'-iter gal. 26 . . 4,44-231 " 

A chiliol'-iter . . . . . . . gal. 264 and 44-231 " 



WEIGHTS. 

The unity of weight is a gram. It is precisely the weight of a quantity of pure water equal 
to a cubic centimeter, which is the 1,100th of a meter, and is equal to 15 grains and 444 
decimals troy.

§ Authorities do not perfectly agree in the fractions. Pinkerton gives 0242 as the decimals of this 
measure.
